Being prepared makes what could be an emergency more of an annoyance instead. 

I am preparing to close and creating a list of my own for my renovations. 

***So in one of our rentals, we tested it for Radon. 

Apparently he’s looking and I’m preparing myself for the 30 notice.

@Sid SriramYou can utilize the FHA loan 3.5% down for a duplex, but a triplex or fourplex will have to pass what is called the "self sufficiency test." which means that 75% of market rental income needs to cover your loan payments (which include payment, interest, taxes, insurance and mortgage insurance) so it is extremely difficult to find 3-4 unit deals that pass the self sufficiency test in San Diego County so a duplex (or duplex with an ADU or SFR with ADU) will be your main options.

When I had a project that involved removing some asbestos my local landfill was a facility that accepted it as long as it was properly prepared for disposal in the correct containers etc.

Stacking extra money each month to prepare for another house hack next year!

Be prepared and let them know if there is major hidden damage discovered after walk through they can be charged for it.

We recently purchased a new home in the area, but we still have our first house that we bought about five years ago and we are now preparing to put it on the market.

That will free up your ability to use the FHA loan program again and not have to worry about red tape rules.This will also give you the opportunity to live with your Fiance' and test the waters.
